Gold or Space Grey?

I will go for Gold because I may want to match it with a goldwatch
If that's the plan you need an 18k plated iPhone.
Is it just me, or did the space grey lighten up a bit? On the Apple website, it looks like ALL of the colors have lightened up a bit! Does anyone else agree?
Pff you guys are born lucky always winning at the casinos huge jackpots lol
The space gray is nice, but I've always had black iPhones and I think I'm ready for a change. I'm not crazy about the gold, so I'll ordering silver.
That's what I did, too.
Had I seen the colours in person before ordering, I may have chosen differently and stayed with gold; the gold on my fianceé's new 6 looks amazing - it's a warmer, more yellow tone than on my old 5S - more akin to protocol droid gold
The 6 in space grey is sleek and futuristic though - I like it a lot, although no where near as cool as the original slate & black iPhone 5 that was stealth-like

For me all of the white on the front was a bit much.
Well, it's an entirely personal choice, but I feel like the Space Gray looks sleek.
Also, I hate the way you get a big black rectangle on a white screen when the phone is off. When you true off the black model it just looks like a solid black slate.

I bought a Space Grey 6 with a blue leather Apple case so it will match my space black Apple Watch with blue leather magnetic strap. Had a gold 5S and the colour was much nicer than the 6 gold. It's just too full on, where the 5S gold was more discrete.
I don't know though. I feel like the white just looks cleaner. It's certainly less of a fingerprint magnet.
The oleophobic coating they use on the LCD screens are awesome, I remember my iPod Touch having fingerprint smudges, but the new iPhone 6 is completely resistant. I just like how the black screen blends well with the black in the front.
I went with the Space Grey for my preorder. Arrived on time, and wasn't a fan of the black face and grey back. I'm coming from a white 5. Gave it a full two weeks to adjust to it, but couldn't do it. Sent it back and am now waiting for Sprint to send me a gold in the next 2-4 weeks.
